I still have the impression that Leblanc's chain is a kilometer long

Seriously, how is this even still a thing? Even the visual indicator of the range is faulty most of the time, you could walk for hours on the edge of the line and the chain would never let go.

but then they'll know how far away they need to run in order to evade our targeting systems?!

some things are best left encoded <.<

Some issues arise with metric like our square mile by mile roadways...

Well the whole world uses metric nowadays because conversions there are much easier. IIRC, the US is the only country in the world that's still using the English System.

At this time, only three countries—Burma, Liberia, and the US—have not adopted the International System of Units (SI, or metric system) as their official system of weights and measures

I like the concept of metrics, being .001x .01x .1x 1x 10x 100x 1000x etc etc I just think the measurement is arbitrary.

The chain is stupid and there is no way to break it unless you have a zhonyas, mega gapcloser/escape, or are poppy.

Why riot ever reverted this toxic ass champ with 0 counterplay is beyond me.

They don't really like counter play. They like to IMPLY counter play. Pretend it's a thing. Then give everyone hyper mobility and ultra burst and CC. Counter play....strategy...nah fam. Not in League of Legends.

The chain range got nerfed with the revert, wtf are you even on about

SugeMinPikk14 votes

The tether is edge-to-edge, which is kind of ridiculous. It should be edge-to-center..

The edge of the circle touch both tower's max range. Seems fair.

The range indicator is just there to troll you.

Unless LB decides to walk away from you after shes landed the chain, theres no way you're going to escape. You cant even flash out of it.

HalcyonDweller1 votes

Yeah, and it's such bullshit that you can't. Like, come on we deserve to have the counterplay to give up our flash to get out of the chain, as long as she's not right on top of us then the tether should be able to break from flashing away.

I'd like to know how LeBlanc can get reverted and yet Shen players have to suffer.

because clearly vorpal blade was uninteractive design and lb isn't.

I agree with the first part and very very strongly disagree with the second part

LordGeovanni3 votes

Where is the interactivity with Leblanc's kit?

ninjaroxas3 votes

I mean as an immobile champion you can't get near her with 4 blinks and a root.

This isn't directed to you but all the people who want shen's old Q back are just being nostalgic

Vorpal Blade might have been uninteractive, but reworked LeBlanc's kit isn't much either.

Yeah you can argue that she has to get close in order to deal damage, but unless you're fed you can't really do much and even if you try to retaliate, she'll just jump back to her portal.

God I'd love old Shen back, I loved building Nashors Tooth and Guinsoo's on him and play him like a melee Kayle.

Z3Sleeper2 votes

...isn't that easier to do on new Shen?

Melledoneus5 votes

Because clearly getting chunked at level 3 without being able to retaliate is more unfair than getting a 70 damage targeted projectile thrown at you every 8 seconds.

That heals him though.

Unfair how, exactly?

Pantheon is allowed to do the same thing on a lower cooldown with even higher damage.

Vorpal Blade was also one of Shen's only tools for farming if he was getting zoned.

Right now, if you play a lane bully into him (Shen), he's practically useless for the first 10 minutes of the game.

Honestly, probably because he got a vgu. All who got reverted have been small reworks with mostly the same art assets.

If Riot is anything to go by, they refuse to nerf the range, even when people said the only problem with her rework was her chain length.

His is very conditional though, and it's an ultimate with a long cd.

LordGeovanni3 votes

Point and click has its own Downsides in that you have to be close enough to use it and the range was fairly short. Where as New Warwick gets extended range for speed

My Waifu Vanilla2 votes

Except old warwick had free kills after level 6. You don't outplay warwick ganks. It's the same reason Ryze and Malz got hit for nerfs constantly since their targetted CC is a death sentence for any gank.

Also, you had to constantly be outside of 1100 range of warwick at all times since most of the time he had flash up since....he's the jungler and doesn't have to actively use it that often since he rarely interacts with enemy champions. Like PLEASE tell me what I do as a mid laner when warwick had flash up? I get clicked on suppressed for 1.8 seconds while my enemy lane opponent doesn't even have to aim to hit their combo.

No matter how many times I die because of that chain, I always forget how long it can get because it's so bullshit you actually don't know if you can trust your memory of it.

Uff, the boards and people like you. Dodge? When she dashes into your face and spams abilities. Disregarding that was not even the purpose of OP's comment. I'll let you figure it out.
